Its the casinos mistake.

They admitted it.

She will sue in court and win.

It would have been less costly to not be dicks to her, and have made sure she had her legitimate winnings.

The would not accept a gambler who put in the wrong credit card number and said, oops, out of my hands, sorry.

I had a college roommate that was a professional card counter.

He “Worked” his way through college going to Vegas twice a semester. I asked him about it and he said card counting isn’t illegal and that as long as he didn’t abuse the knowledge the casinos didn’t care. He said there were 4 rules.
1. He didn’t take more than about 5K from any casino in one day.
2. He played a different casino every day.
3. He didn’t talk about what he he was doing to other players at the table.
4. He didn’t work with a team or group to skim more.

He’d go to Vegas or Atlantic City for a week and play stud or Black Jack at a different place every day for about 3 to 5 hours. After winning 2 to 5 thousand he cash in and leave.

He said probably 500,000 people in the US make a living that way. I don’t know where he got that number.

I agree with you. Really poor PR and they will eat it anyway. Glad sometimes we agree.
